Ducor Hotel, Five-star hotel in Monrovia, Liberia.
The Ducor Hotel is an eight-story building housing 106 rooms and positioned on a hilltop in Monrovia. From the structure, visitors can view the Atlantic Ocean and the downtown area of the city.
The hotel opened in 1960 and operated as a landmark establishment until its closure in 1989 at the onset of the First Liberian Civil War. Political instability during that period forced the facility to shut down.
The hotel served as a gathering place for international diplomats and government officials during the 1960s, hosting conferences and social events that shaped regional politics. Its role reflected Monrovia's status as a center for African diplomatic activity.
Security staff at the site may request modest monetary contributions from visitors during their visit. Certain professionals can benefit from reduced fees based on their occupation.
The rooftop offers a panoramic view of Monrovia showing both the urban landscape and where the Mesurado River meets the Atlantic Ocean. This vantage point reveals the geographic character that defined the city's location.
